2. There are many people with both temporary and permanent cognitive impairments who need help in getting started and reminded. People with vision loss and a variety of neurological disorders are often helped by clear guidance and explanations.

3. Saying it should be "simple enough for no help to be required" unfortunately puts on display a lack of understanding for a broader population and the various needs of different people. Without help functionality fewer people will be able to use your service.

4. Once again for the people in the back: some people being able to use your service without help does not mean everyone can. Be careful who you test with. Of course, designing that help functionality is another story. /rant over
